Sunday July 11-1937
About 9.30 started south to St. Blan-
dine Church, to find if possible the contact be-
tween the Quebec series and the Silurian. Here
seems to be no chance to find it here.
Saw a Silurian sequence for two miles
down, all a muddy siltstone series with
some fine grained ss and rare very thin lls.
The latter are at times made up of broken fossils
mostly crinoidal matter, but nothing was recogniz-
able. In the limy siltstones saw one Schuchertella,
Dalmanella, Atrypa reticularis, Bilo-
fites Tildra, Lyellia Platyceras and several
species of Hiraulos. All are fresh fossils in the
limestone at our Tavannes.
It is possible that the lower beds are of Trent-
port age, but I rather think all is Mid. Silurian.
Then had lunch at the St. Laurent in
Rimouski. At 1.30 started north down the
St. Lawrence river. At Metis there is much
Languy g t intruded with red and green slate
